Bernard Allen stabbed a man with a pocket knife inside the Fiesta Mall in Mesa on March 30, 2008. Allen escaped and the man later recovered.

But the following day, Allen walked into a store in the same mall. Store employees say he was acting strangely as he paid $41.60 for an 8-inch butcher knife.

Minutes later, Allen walked into a mall bathroom and stabbed 31-year-old Issurah Jackson in the back. Witnesses who saw Allen leaving the bathroom with the bloody knife called police and he was arrested.
